To quote:"The closest thing to socialism in America in 2014 is a GOP that proposes to use the dominating power of the Republican vision of the federal government to take away the private property of private insurance bought from private companies by individual citizens, after considering competing products in a capitalist system.

Even after the most expensive and aggressive negative TV campaign ever run against a consumer product in the history of capitalism, Republicans refuse to respect the decisions of customers."

Here in my state of South Carolina, the GOP is going at it in near Gestapo format: bills rejecting the Affordable Care Act even before it was implemented, refusal of Medicaid Expansion (even for a three-year period of absolutely no cost upon the state) - even a proposal to interfere with registration for these new insurance options, requiring navigators to pay for special training, complete with final test that the bill sponsor openly said would be almost impossible to pass.

State Sen. Tom Davis (R-Beaufort) s﻿aid “South Carolina … (has) an obligation to slow the spread of that infection as best (it) can until such time as Congress repeals the Affordable Care Act.” ﻿
